EI QUESTION!

I know every second post on here is an EI question, but I cant find an answer for this anywhere. Im currently 23 weeks pregnant, and working in Ontario, Im planning on going home (Prince Edward Island) to have the baby. My ideal plan is to finish working the end of february, and leave for PEI at the beginning of March, this making me just 31 weeks. Does anyone know if its okay to do this, and then wait and apply for EI in PEI once I hit the 32 week mark? BEcause I know i cant start Maternity until 8 weeks before EDD. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated. Ive been trying to get through to EI for days and always stuck on hold.

Thanks Again :)

I moved from ab to mb at about 30ish weeks and went on ei at about 28 weeks. I just asked my dr to put me on sick leave and he had no problem with it. I miss that dr, he thought nobody should have to work too hard when pregnant

I would go into a service canada office (first thing in the morning is best) for fast service. If you can't then it's better to hold. I've waited 30 mins before so I feel your pain. IMO It's better to get the info from then instead of making a mistake and waiting forever on your money! Good luck!

I think they take an average on your last 20 or so weeks of pay, so if you're not maxed out you may want to be careful or you could lower your cheques. Definitely check with service Canada, and get it in writing because they're famous for giving different answers.

You can move anywhere you want in Canada as far as I know. It not like regular ei where you have to complete reports and let them know where you are. You can take care of your child anywhere and since you're still in Canada I don't see why not. As long as you have all your hours required of course

Your employer will have to submit a ROE which states when you stopped working, for you to be able to file an EI claim. That may be why a previous poster got put on sick leave, maybe that is a way to extend your employment. I'm jealous that you've even got thru to holding with service Canada. I just get a recording that they are experiencing high call volumes and hangs up on me!
